WOMANIFESTO II

WOMANIFESTO II continues the journey of the original WOMANIFESTO, expanding the mosaic of voices of women artists confronting the socio-political and environmental challenges of our times. Following its predecessor, which premiered at several significant festivals, this second collective cry deepens the collective manifesto without restrictions of race, ethnicity, religion, age, or background.

Director Biography - Efi Spyrou

Efi’s work talks about the progressive movement from the particularity of personal narrative to the universality of collective memory. Employing the means of film, sculpture, and photo-performance, her artistic practice engages in a simultaneously sensitive and caustic socio-political commentary.

Her artwork has been featured in numerous exhibitions, including Efi’s solo exhibitions "METAMORPHOSES" at the Greek pavilion, EXPO 2020 Dubai, in the framework of the event "A Universal Narrative of Light' From Apollo's birthplace, Delos, to a brighter future", organized by the Office of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, “MY FINEST FABULOUS AND AMAZING MATH BOOK” at Greenwich University, LFA, London, “BLACK GOLD FLAKES” at A.G. Leventis Gallery, Nicosia, and the city secret performance “ART SCENE CRIME SOON”, in different cities in Greece and Cyprus.

Efi has recently been awarded for her artwork with the "PPC MEETS ART" Award, 2022 and the "175th Anniversary of National Bank of Greece" Award, by the National Bank of Greece, 2017.
She has an extensive experience in the fashion and media industry. She has served as Goodwill Ambassador for public interest campaigns in Europe and US, including the recent campaign for the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.

She is the founder and creative director of the non-profit art initiative RUNONART.
